So I'm very fortunate that one of our local shops here stocks an incredible variety of hard to find cichlids, wild caught, dwarfs... you name it they get it.
Anyhow, I have a pair of Viejeta Apistos I bought a few months back. They're in with my Angelfish and thriving.
The other day I went in and he had a slew of new Apistos and of course, I couldn't resist.
I picked up a pair of the following: Borelli (2 pairs), Hongsloi and Baenschi/Inka.
I'm going to try breeding a pair as I've never tried before. My question is if you were going to give it a go, which type would you try first? I'm thinking for ease of breeding, set up requirements etc.
I'm going to do some reading up on how to breed them properly but if you have any tips as well, please share, I appreciate it!
I'm going to set up a 20 gallon long, with a sand substrate some flat slate/rocks and Almond leaves (I believe the leaves I have are almond, don't hold me to it though), and perhaps a few lives plants and java moss.
How does that sound and which pair would you try breeding first? I was thinking Viejeta as they've shown some pairing behaviors in my large tank.
